Treasures of the Snow

A few weeks ago at the library I came across the book Treasures of the Snow by Patricia St. John and had to bring it home. My sister and niece have been recommending it for years, so I thought I'd be a little different and read something other than a picture book for once. :)

I found it every bit as good as they'd promised. What's more, my lovely niece even reviewed it so I could share it with you. So, in her words, here's Treasures of the Snow:

When Lucien, out of spite, accidentally makes Annette's younger brother Danny fall into a ravine, it seems all hope of being loved is gone. Until one day when Lucien meets a kind old man who lives up on a mountain. The man teaches him about God's love and kindness.

Throughout the book Annette and Lucien learn important lessons about forgiveness and find that God's love will always carry them through in tough situations.

I enjoyed this book because it not only is exciting and suspenseful, but it also teaches about God's love. When you read the book it's like you're in Annette or Lucien's shoes. You cry when they cry and you feel the way they feel. This book is definitely on my list of favorites.

Though you'll find the book in the children's chapter book section of your library, I'd recommend it for adults, too. In fact, as soon as I was finished (and disappointed to have to leave my new friends Lucien and Annette), I requested more books by Patricia St. John.

Happy reading!
